Ice Cream Sandwiches

Just imagine... an ice cream truck pulling into your driveway and the delivery man stepping out to hand you a delicious, cool, refreshing ice cream treat every day! Ahhh... that's a great dream! Now you can find that cool refreshing treat in your freezer everyday!!!

Create your favorite ice cream sandwich right at home. Make your sandwich a classic rectangular shape and flavor, two chocolate cake layers filled with vanilla ice cream.

Or for a little more fun create homemade ice cream sandwiches are as simple as 1, 2, 3 with our new farm ice cream sandwich molds. Bake a full sheet of cookies - cut out cookies in the animal design of your choice - use the press to sandwich your favorite ice cream between 2 cookies. Brightly colored designs are pig, cow, and chicken. The press completes the sandwich with details that are pressed right into the cookie. It's simple, it's fun, and it's tasty!!!! Our other set has classic shapes such as a heart, star, and square with rounded sides called a "squircle."

You can basically make any shape ice cream sandwich. You just need a cookie cutter. Large simple cutters work best for dessert sandwiches, such as a circle, diamond-shape or large animal shape.

Here are some simple procedures for the kids to follow:

• Follow directions on simple sugar cookie mix and add food coloring to dough as needed for your particular shape. Other rolled cookie batter works just as well, or add candies to regular sugar cookie dough (like M&Ms or toffee crunches) to make your sandwich different.

• Bake and decorate half of the cookies as desired. Add eyes and a mouth to animals or a happy face to round cookies using food decorating pens or candywriters. Use different colored icings and sanding sugars. Let the kids decorate with their own ideas.

• Choose your favorite flavor of ice cream. (Suggestion: Mint chocolate chip would be a choice for frogs.) Cut a slab of ice cream ½” thick and use the same cookie cutter to cut out same shape of ice cream.

• Working quickly so ice cream doesn't melt, assemble the frog by placing an undecorated cookie on the bottom, then the shaped ice cream slab, followed by the decorated cookie on top. Wrap sandwich in plastic wrap and place in freezer to harden.

• It is best to have all the cookies decorated first, and then to assemble each sandwich individually.
